Rhonda Ridge Rasmussen read to her husband,
Floyd, just about every night before going to bed. His eyes are bad, he
says, and she enjoyed reading to him. The couple had just started a new
book, one of the Harry Potter series.

There were so many other things she was looking
forward to when she died, Floyd Rasmussen said of his wife, a former Sunday
school teacher. For one thing, Mrs. Rasmussen, 44, who worked in the Army's
budget office in the Pentagon, had not developed the photographs the couple
took on a trip to Europe a month earlier.

And the Rasmussens were planning to move back
to California, where they met at a church dance on Dec. 31, 1973. Mr. Rasmussen,
who also works at the Pentagon, said he may still head out West without
her. "It's a better place," he said. There aren't as many sad memories
as there are here."

16, 2002Government to Bury Unidentifiable
Remains

Unidentifiable remains of
victims of the September 11, 2001, attack on the Pentagon will be buried
in Arlington National Cemetery, the military said Friday.

The September 12, 2002, ceremony
will hold special significance for families of five people whose remains
have never been identified, said Colonel Jody Draves, a spokeswoman for
the Military District of Washington, which oversees the cemetery.

The service will include
burial of the cremated ashes of all remains not linked to a particular
victim, as well as some remains which were identified that family members
asked to be included.

"The intent is not as a memorial
service but as a group burial for victims not identified," Draves said.

The Pentagon attack killed
189 people: 125 in the Pentagon and 64 aboard American Airlines Flight
77. Remains of the five hijackers on the flight have been separated from
those of the victims.
